Apparently the Albanian government’s chief strategy to reduce corruption in the civil service, is to make it unnecessary for Albanians to interact with human beings in the civil service. Instead they’ll just talk to the AI (“Diella”) whenever they want to get a permit and so on. So Diella herself is just a frontend to an Albanian government website, not that different to the chatbots that can be found on many other government and corporate websites. Calling her a government minister is a bit unprecedented, but ultimately it’s just another example of human society trying to integrate AI by treating it as a person, in this case assigning the AI a place in society that was previously only occupied by human beings.
